View Full Version : My Winter Upgrades
Get some 235/45 17's. They fit great on my silver car. I have Kumho MX's on there and they are a pretty good tire. I took Kracka's advice and tried the Sumitomo HTRZ's on the M and there isn't a better tire for the money! Don't get the plus', just the regular HTRZ, I think Tire Rack had them.

Was the rim on the silver car pretty much the same as mine? 17x8 35 offset?

If I went through anyone on here, it'd probably be Pete at Goodyear who sponsors the forum.
I also added a couple others I've been looking at. I'm not a tire expert at all, so they all look good to me.

I dont deal with those kind of tires so I wouldnt really know much about them but I do deal with Good year, michelin, bridgestone, dunlop, ect.... and sam's club's prices as far as I'm aware always beats the dealer...
